In 2009 Stephen Drain founded the Centre for Innovative Leadership at AUT University in Auckland, New Zealand. Through the Centre he developed and ran authentic and innovative leadership programmes for senior leaders.

Before his journey into leadership development he had a career in fraud investigation and although he didn’t know it at the time the understanding that comes from dealing with a wide range of people, some at their worst, was invaluable in growing an understanding of the human condition.

Stephen learned that happiness is a life purpose and his leadership development work and own career are both guided by this principle.
Stephen now works within Advisory at PwC in Auckland combining his forensic and leadership development knowledge. He continues to have an association with AUT University to run the Innovative Leaders and Authentic Leadership Programmes.

Stephen has an MBA and a post-graduate Diploma in Business (Finance) from The University of Auckland and is accredited in a number of personality profiling and feedback instruments including Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Saville Wave and FIRO-B. Stephen is a Professional Member of the Human Resources Institute, the New Zealand Association of Psychological Type, the Institute of Directors in New Zealand and the YMCA Marathon Club too.
